This is the Danger Close Podcast, beyond the books with me, Jack Carr.

Welcome to the Danger Close Podcast, an ironclad original presented by Six Hour.

My guest today is the Frogman, Dean Stott.

Dean is a former member of the British SPS, the Special Vote Service.

His time in uniform was cut short due to a parachuting accident.

Then he went into the private security sector, working all around the world with a lot of experience and time in Libya.

We talk about all that and what he did afterward, which was ride a bike from the southern tip of Argentina all the way up to Alaska,

shattering a Guinness Book of World Records, and just an incredible guy.

We talk about all that on the podcast. He discusses it in his book Relentless, which is available now.

We talk about his next adventure, which is a trek down the Nile.

At a great time, talking to him, if you like our conversation, be sure to leave a five star rating and review,

wherever you get your podcasts.

Now, without further ado, Dean Stott.

Thank you so much for doing this. I sincerely appreciate it.

It's the story. I mean, this is amazing. Your whole life story is incredible, so inspirational.

And you just kind of want to dive in with you on it and get up to the world record.

I mean, jumping on a bike and going from the tip of South America all the way up to Alaska, I mean, insanity.

But before that, I mean, you started off and your beginning wasn't, I mean, it was tough.

I mean, you had the, it was a military upbringing. And then at some point, your parents split and you

ended up in a homeless shelter in a not very good part of the UK. And so what was, what was that like growing up?

Yeah. So, yeah, as you touched on there, I, I born, my father was in the military. He was in the

Royal Engineers. And so for us, life every three years, we would feel like we just got settled.
